REVIEW UPDATE (august 18, 2023)
I can’t say enough positive things about this game and developer… not only does the developer constantly keep in contact by notifying me of updates & asking for constructive criticism, but he actually LISTENS, TWEAKS, THEN IMPLEMENTS those new ideas at the speed of light. Ask for a little less recoil? Boom, a week or 2 later an update addresses that very issue… More gun options? Boom, done. Add ability to upgrade weapons? Boom, done. EVERYTHING I’ve asked for has either already been implemented or I’ve been given a legit reason for why my idea isn’t possible or not very well thought out. I badly want to see the this game succeed not only because the game merits serious recognition, but because this developer is a paragon of customer service. Please give this game a shot. I bought it at
This game is sooooo close to being a 5 star banger, but a couple of tweaks are necessary.
First, most of the firearms have way too much recoil which makes it dang near impossible to hit what you’re aiming at. I’m a shooter in a real life as well as experienced in VR shooting so I have an idea how it should feel…as soon as you pull the trigger on the full auto guns, the gun pulls up violently, making the next 4-5 bullets miss by a wide margin. I understand realism isn’t the goal, and it’s supposed to be more arcadey, but it just needs to be toned down a bit in that area.
Fix this one issue, and I’ll immediately update my score to 5 STARS
The following is icing on the cake, but would help Strike Back stand above the rest.
—— we need more upgrades to earn, especially permanent ones like special sights, barrels, magazine extender, overall power, etc. The more upgrades you offer, the more replayable it becomes.
—— I hate saying it because EVERYONE says it about EVERY FPS, buuuuut, more firearms would be greatly appreciated lol. Custom loadouts before each round allowing the player to choose which assault rifle/sniper rifle/pistol/etc will be offered in the upcoming run… for example, everyone starts with that beginner pistol but we should be able to upgrade that pistol a bunch to make it more impactful, or given the option of choosing between 7-8 other pistols, like the magnum or M9. Again, more firearms = more replayabilty.
—- Achievements/Goals for each level. For instance, an achievement/reward for 5 consecutive headshots, or win round using only a pistol…
—- Finally, my biggest gripe other than the recoil is the PVP mode. I tried for 10 mins and nada. If there’s no one in the lobby, at least make it so we can play against BOTS. I have yet to try the PVP mode because nobody owns the game yet. Just about all PvP shooters offer BOTS.
And if I could offer some friendly, but unsolicited advice:
If you want to increase the player base, you really should consider lowering the price to around $12-$20. $30 for a brand new AppLab game with 5 reviews is big ask and most people don’t wanna chance it.
Whatever you do, please don’t stop improving this game. I promise, this WILL be a top selling game in 6 months time with just a few tweaks and additions. It’s a truly unique gaming experience.
Final score:
4.3 out of 5
5 out of 5 as soon as recoil issue fixed

I bought this game when it was $30 and I’ll be honest, while it might have been more expensive than most, it was worth the admission price…. But the price has been dropped to $15, which my goodness, is an absolute STEAL!! Trust me, there’s a ton of content in Strike Back, and there’s no way you’ll finish in 1 or 2 sittings. It’s tough, it’s long, and it just keeps getting better…. What more could a gamer ask?
And by the way, apparently a MAJOR update is in the pipeline which will add a ZOMBIE MODE 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Trust me, this game is gonna be something REAL SPECIAL, REAL SOON.
